Yesterday

Yesterday was a day of really good things and not so good things. Let’s start with the good things. I got an A on my French midterm! She also handed out midterm reports, and I have an 89.6% in the class! Yay! I’m soooo happy! And when I got to my car to go home, there was a cute little tree frog on it. When I got home, Rob actually remembered to put my laundry in the dryer! He also weed whacked! Yay boyfriend! Now the bad things: Kaidra, my betta fish died. I started my period. It sucks. I had to present my posters in Comp as Medium. It went like this: “Explosions in Space. Shit blows up kind of movie.” Then the teacher and some student started to critique my text and I couldn’t have cared less. Then I left class.

I finished the data entry stuff for work. I kinda liked it, making Excel spreadsheets and data tables. But when introducing people in the office to new clients I’m just “Mallory, a Digital Media student”. At least he didn’t call me Valerie like he did a while ago, for a whole day. So, work is going well and all that. Having a little trouble with the company email. It keeps logging me out every 5 minutes or not letting me log in.

If you haven’t noticed, I’ve changed the layout of my website. I think I have all the bugs worked out. This one was made entirely by me! Except it uses a few brushes that I can’t remember where I got them. And I widgetized it! Not entirely, but I may make a similar one and completely widgetize that. I’m thinking of making Wordpress themes for download. Looking at the ones I have currently, would you want to download similar themes?

I’ve also noticed how starved for intellectual conversation I am. I listen to NPR in my car, and I find my self talking back to the radio. Rob’s nice to talk to, but some subjects that I like he doesn’t know much about. And I don’t get philosophy, so I can’t really have a discussion with him about something he likes. At least we have similar political views, that’s good. So, I find myself watching the History Channel, Discovery, Animal Planet and other such channels, hoping that they’ll have something new. Or I take my dad’s National Geographic and read the articles. There were two cool articles on the bog people in England (creepy pictures, be warned) and discoveries on zoonosis and where new bacteria/viruses are coming from. I love that stuff! Sometimes I regret not going into the sciences, because that stuff fascinates me. I really need to start reading up on PHP and spend spend time learning that.
